One Year Blogoversary

Good Morning my friends! Hello to my new followers. I am so happy you have decided to stop by. =) I have been blogging for one year now. It has been a joy to join in with all of you.♥ It really warms my heart to experience such friendliness. I have met so many nice, caring friends.♥

I would like to give a few gifts to you for this, my one year blogoversary. Firstly, I made another bottle cap pincushion. I have never made two alike. So, yes, this is another Wintery Wisconsin one, but it is white with pale blue, DMC 775 floss. I also made the pale crystal counting pins.

These are freshwater pearl earrings straight from the jeweler (never worn).

And this is a pretty pinpillow I have a hard time parting with! ;)

This pattern is from one of my older magazines, The Cross Stitcher, April 2009. The pattern is by Olde Willow Stitchery Threads, it is just simply called Quaker Motif.

This is stitched one over one with DMC B5200 on 32ct Antique Pink linen. I loved, loved, loved stitching on the little white buttons. I have never finished like this before and thought it up and loved the idea of it!

And this is the back. Isn't this just the sweetest motif? I found it at my library. ;) It is from the book Better Homes and Gardens Stitching Pretty. I just adore this little motif!!♥ This pinpillow is so me!!

So my friends, if you are interested in this offering of mine you need to be a follower. You also need to leave me a comment on this post, please tell me if you are interested in the giveaway. Would you tell me how long you have been blogging? I will draw a name for the winner on Wednesday, March 6th.

Mabel is improved. She is still on her medicines. She does seem not exactly the same. Like maybe she has only recovered 90% of the way? We are working with the vet with her medicines. We hope she makes a full recovery again, and goes a long time with out another flare up of pain.

As for me and my tummy, well, it is still burning. It takes some people longer to get rid of that while on the acid blockers. If it is not gone by the time the two weeks of meds are done, I have to call the doctor of course. I do NOT want an ulcer, nope!

Anyway, thanks for the giveaway. Hope the vet can find the perfect meds for Mabel to be 100%. And also that your stomach stops that burning!

Happy Blogoversary Vickie!! Your gifts to give away are so beautiful and I would enter but my ears aren't pierced!! Isn't that the funniest thing? I never got them pierced and have never felt the need to pierce them. Anywho, I started bloggin back in September 2010 and am so glad to have "met" such wonderful people like you :D I'm glad to hear that Mabel is nearly better. You take care of yourself too. I sure hope you don't have an ulcer. That wouldn't be good.

Congratulations and happy anniversary to you Vickie. I hope Mabel returns to full health really soon and that you feel better too. Your stitching is, as always so beautiful, I love the pink pincushion, it's very pretty!
